Default Hair Loss

Okay I've been trying to look online and mostly what I find it that you lose a lot of hair after giving birth, because while pregnant your hair is put into a suspended state. That scares me to DEATH!

The hair on my head has steadily been falling out since I concieved. I keep trying to remember if it fell out at all before that, but I don't think it did! I thought it was from taking metformin, I started that in march. got pregnant end of May, and stopped the metformin at 12 weeks.

they say that losing 120 hairs a day is normal. I NEVER lost hair, at all, up until now. It's freaking me out. Everyday I brush my hair and probably a good 50 hairs come out. My hair is now very thin , especially on the top by my bangs, and on the sides. I dont have a bald spot (THANK GOD), and my hair is not receeding.

Has ANYONE at all .. experienced this while pregnant?? I haven't asked my doctor yet because like I said, I kept hoping it was just the metformin. I've been on three different vitamins too so I wouldn't think it would be related to that.

I don't know what to do and I guess just am hoping that I'm not the only one going thru this. If my hairs falling out now, and it's SUPPOSED to after I have the baby, I think I might just get a wig
